In tech, a lot of stupid ideas that get lambasted weren't actually bad ideas, they were just early (e.g. Webvan). We are in the early days of a very big boom in electricity. John Doerr's vision around this market was right, he was just a decade or two too early.https://twitter.com/birsic/status/1133848500888903680 …

But ....that's just timing. The timing determines the environment that a company is founded in. Starting Uber in 1990 would have been much more difficult if the ecosystem for payments and cloud computing weren't there
Sure, some examples are timing (i.e. it was technically/economically impossible at the time). But others were technically/economically possible, but slightly mis-oriented, and the 'too early' label gets applied.

What's a good example of this though? Because I guess Lyft was originally misdirected as zimride, but eventually course corrected to match Uber
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
